Some time at the beach & No they didn't part 3

We decided to take a late afternoon trip to the beach yesterday. It was perfect...the crowds had thinned out, it wasn't too hot...just a relaxing, fun time.

I took the saturation down a bit on the photos...I like the way it makes beach shots look.

The surf was rough so there was a lot of seaweed lying around.

The large shells didn't stand a chance against the waves.

The smaller ones fared alright...most of the whole ones were tangled up in the beached seaweed.

Mallory helping me look for shells.

Mal's water wedgie ; )






Delaney helped me look too.

Mal's best super hero pose...what a goof.

COVERED in sand...of course.

My footprint along with some from a sand piper.

Isn't this cool? As long as Hubby and I have lived here and as much as we've been stung by jellyfish, we've NEVER seen one like this. We put a small reed in there and he wrapped those tentacles right around it...I'm sure he packs quite a punch (no way we were going to find out!).



Pieces from a large sand dollar (Mal's hand is for reference) and teeny one too...of course she crushed it right after I snapped this shot.






Delaney has been alive for almost 8 years and is quite over her Mom taking her photo...she'll thank me later ; )








One of my favorite shots of the day. It's a bit blurry but I think that's part of the reason I love it.












Mallory saying, "I want to go home now!"...you never have to wonder what that kid is thinking.






On the way home...

We were only there for about 2 hours, but I think we needed it.

There is some controversy as to whether or not this article was actually ever written for a magazine...I just think it's hil~a~ri~ous*!* Whatever the case may be, it HAD to have been written by a man (who hopefully is watching his back*!*).

Just a hoot for SOOOOO many reasons...priceless.

And Honey, don't get any d*mn ideas ok?
